Beautiful, fun and entertaining - The area sells itself, it is so beautiful however our tour guide Matt showed us things we would never have found on our own. He had a brilliant enthusiasm and energy which he maintained all day, great sense of humour and extensive knowledge. Our family had a brilliant time, the ice cream was enjoyed by all. A shame that we couldn’t swim due to the river in flood but that also provided more spectacular scenery. Seeing a cassowary and its chick in the wild and several Ulysses butterflies were personal highlights.

One of our best tours Oz wide!! - Absolutely sensational. Cam was our guide. So knowledgeable and well spoken in the Aussie tongue, the information and discussions were incredible. We didn’t visit in peak season, so fewer crocs but this did not matter! The locals know where the crocs were nesting and we seen 5 Casowaries in the wild.. the Daintree ice creamery made from fruit from the orchids onsite was a hit too! Lunch and a swim at Coopers creek was memorable, the water was amazing! Our guide made our experience even more amazing, I’m sure he will sleep well tonight after answering all our questions ! Thank you!!

Awesome Tour - We had an excellent full day with Matt on this tour. He was very informative and knowledgeable, bonus points for his amazing humor! The van was comfortable and it was nice to have a small group tour with only 10 people.

Excellent, informative tour of the rainforest. - Would really recommend this tour. Pick up from main hotels in Port Douglas. All day tour of the rain forest in small groups. Great cruise up the river looking at wildlife and hoping to see a crocodile. Lovely lunch. Our guide, Mick, was extremely informative and really made the day interesting.

Extraordinary tour -- but please be mindful of the elderly & disabled - I took this full-day tour with my elderly mother a while back, & wanted to highlight an issue that made us both very uncomfortable. My mother is 80+ years old, a very slow walker, especially on stairs, and after the crocodile/river cruise portion we were the last the get off the boat (due to her disability). As I helped her to the stairs that lead to the parking lot, I noticed everyone had left us. The guide was gone, the group had swiftly moved along, it was just my mother & me directly next to the banks/mangroves of a wild river with enormous crocodiles in every direction. In theory, yes it may have been a safe dock to unload, but the reality was a crocodile could have been anywhere -- we were disembarking in their territory & had just seen an enormous (5 meter) one a few minutes earlier, not too far from where we were. I think this needs to be addressed, in whatever way a guide can stay with slower paced or elderly individuals, it should be prioritized -- as it was a scary few minutes walking up that hill completely on our own. I don't imagine a Crocodile Dundee-style rescue in the face of a huge reptile attacking us, but just the presence of a guide who was actually looking out for us? It would have made a big difference.
